My dad once told me, he was like, 'The only time you should lie is when someone's holding a gun to your head and says 'Okay, lie or I'm going to shoot you.' And that really stuck with me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tell the truth, and it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. My dad used to say to me, 'If you tell the truth all day long, you will end up in jail.'
Well, when I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the power of lying, it's really like magic because you transform reality for people.
I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.
When I was young, an eccentric uncle decided to teach me how to lie. Not, he explained, because he wanted me to lie, but because he thought I should know how it's done so I would recognise when I was being lied to.
My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.
I never lie. I believe everything I say, so it's not a lie.
When I was really young, I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it.
A great lie is like a great fish on dry land; it may fret and fling and make a frightful bother, but it cannot hurt you. You have only to keep still, and it will die of itself.
I always was getting into trouble some way, because I was really good at lying when I was a kid.
If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.
